FAQs
Do I need to pay a fee to submit an article?
No, submissions are free of charge.
Do I need to be an Erasmus University history student to submit an article?
No, you do not necessarily have to study or have studied at EUR to have an article published. However, since we are funded by EUR and our mission is to inspire students from our history department, we do give preference to articles that have been written as part of the Erasmus University curriculum. This means that if we have to choose between two equally good articles, one written by a EUR student and one by someone from outside the university, we will publish the former.
Can I submit multiple articles?
You may submit up to two articles at a time. This helps manage the editors’ workload and ensures that everyone has a fair chance at being published. Please note that we only publish one article per person per issue. Additional submissions may be considered for future editions.
Can I submit my thesis to History Collective?
Yes. Keep in mind that the maximum word count allowed is 5000. You may need to shorten or alter your thesis accordingly. Make sure that your work has not been published elsewhere/or is not in consideration for a thesis award.
Do I need to use Chicago Manual Style for referencing?
Yes, all articles submitted must be in line with the Chicago Manual Style (notes and bibliography) of referencing.
Who will be peer-reviewing my article?
All submissions are first reviewed and proofread by our student editorial board members. Only those submissions that fit our mission and meet the formal guidelines will be sent for further peer reviews.
